...﻿Branches of Geography
There are two main branches of geography viz., physical geography and human geography. All the other known branches of geography, essentially are the sub-branches of these two.
Physical Geography
Physical geography, a.k.a. physiography is a natural science that deals with patterns and functioning of nature. It deals with those aspects of nature, which lie outside the human domain, but can suffer serious consequences due to human intervention. These include aspects such as atmosphere, climate, landforms, soils, oceans, and so on. Following are the sub-branches of physical geography:
Geomorphology is a science that deals with the formation, shaping, and/or destruction of landforms, and all the processes which are involved. The main aim of geomorphology is to study and analyze the formation of a given landform with respect to the changes that it has undergone through the ages, and to predict what may happen to the landform in the future. This can be done by means of experiments, as well as by quantitative analysis.
Pedology is the study of various kinds of soils in their natural environment. It deals not only with processes of soil formation and classification, but also with the interactions between various physical (air, water, climate, etc.) and biological (plants, microbes, etc.) forces and the soil and their effects on its composition. One of the major aims of pedology is to...

...Science is an organized body of knowledge supported by observation and experimentation, derived from the natural phenomena of the entire material universe. Biology had flourished a great deal in ancient India. Various systems of classifying animals and plants were developed, for example Jeevaj (Viviparous) animals that give birth to young one, Andaj (Oviparous) animals that lay eggs, etc. Cultivation of rice was first introduced in India. It is estimated that more than 1000 varieties of rice had been developed. With the invention of microscope a whole new world of minute animals and plants came to human knowledge. So there’s a need to divide biology into certain branches to due to its vastness of the syllabus it covers.
Biology is divided into several branches. This division can be made in at least three different ways.
A. Principal sub-divisions of Biology in terms of major kinds of organism.
- Botany – the study of plants.
- Zoology – the study of animals.
- Human Biology – The study of man as a living organism and his relationship with other living organisms the study of man and human society comes under Anthropology.
B. Principal sub-divisions of Biology in terms of special groups of organisms.
- Bacteriology – the study of bacteria.
- Virology – the study of viruses.
- Mycology – the study of fungi.
- Entomology – the study of insects....

...﻿BRANCHES OF LAW
Among branches of law, two major fields can be distinguished: private law and public law. The difference between these two branches lies mainly in the parties of the legal relationship in question.
Private law signifies rules that regulate the relationships between private individuals (subjects of law who are, legally speaking, in an equal situation; for example, the legal relationship between a buyer and a seller, where both parties have certain rights and obligations). Private law covers civil law, commercial law, international private law as well as intellectual property (such as copyright, patent law).
Public law, on the other hand, consists in rules where one party is the state, who participates in the legal relationship from a position of strength – thereby effecting its power. Public law also signifies principles that serve as a basis for the structure of the state and the relationships between the state and the citizens. In addition to constitutional law, public law also covers administrative, financial, criminal and procedural law as well as international law.
Constitutional law
The characterization of branches of law traditionally begins with constitutional law, which serves as a basis for other branches. Constitutional law regulates in general terms all legal relationships concerned with the state and law (separation of powers, essential features of the state, legislation)....

Branches of Government
The US Constitution was created by our Founding Forefathers to be the supreme law of the United States of America. The Constitution outlines organization of the government, the relationship that the federal government has with the states, and rights of the citizens. It is vitally important to discuss why the three branches of government were created in the Constitution, each branch of government’s power, obstacles that the division of power created, and the conflict between federal versus state power, in order to understand how the power and structure of our government impacted the formation of our country today.
Philosophers and the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches
In 1787, America’s forefathers came together to create the most important document in history, our Constitution. Some of the Framers goals in the Constitution were to establish a government strong enough to meet the nation’s needs, to establish a government that would not threaten the existence of separate states or the liberty of the nation, and to establish a government based on popular consent (Patterson, 2009, pg. 38). There were many philosophers with different philosophies on how a government should be structured and they inputted those philosophies into the Constitution. There are five main philosophers that have impacted the government’s structure and...

Anthropology is a holistic subject that covers all facets of human life including biological, cultural as well as economic. There are various branches of anthropology like cultural, linguistic, forensic, medical, etc. To get further insight on the major branches of anthropology, read on...
The term anthropology has been coined from two Greek words anthropos which means 'man' and logywhich stands for ' the science of'. It involves the study of the human species at any place on earth, at any given time; be it in the busy neighborhood of Los Angeles or the dense forests of the Amazon. There are anthropologists who study fossils to solve the riddles of human evolution, whereas there are others who try to understand the effect of modernization on contemporary societies. While subjects like economics and biology focus on specific aspects of human life, anthropology is the only discipline that addresses all facets of human existence.

...Branches of Government
The United States constitution was created by people who suffered oppression and dictatorships from the European countries. These people were also highly intelligent men that had knowledge of earlier history and attempted to establish a type of government which resembled the democracies of Old Greece. Having also analyzed John Locke and Thomas Hobbes the ancestors and forefathers of the US constitution looked to set up a type of government which prohibited a dictator or tyrant leader from seizing power from the individuals.
The ancestors and forefathers developed a democratic republic where power was distributed among the 3 branches of government. Generally known as the “Separation of Powers” or the method of controls the federal government, it split into 3 branches; legislative, judicial and executive. Each branch keeps particular powers that are able of overriding the other branches of federal government. Each brank also has particular responsibilities that balance the job of federal government.
The Legislative branch consists of 2 houses, the United States senate and the House of Representatives. The main objective of these 2 branches is to develop regulations for the country and to make sure that the regulations and activities of the other two branches are in the interest of the people. A few of the main powers of the legislative branch incorporate: passing...

...Which branch of government do you think is the most powerful and why? I believe the most powerful branch of government is the Legislative Branch, because of the power it processes to keep checks and balance on the other two branches of government. There are two different houses in the legislative branch, the first is the house if representatives and the senate. The House of Representatives consists of 435 members elected from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the United States territories. The states population determines the number of members elected from each state. There are 6 non-voting members that represent the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and four other territories of the United States. The senate consists of 100 members, two from each state. Members of the house are up for election or reelection every two year as opposed to the senate, which is every six years. Together they form the congress of the United States of America.
Article 1 Section 8 lists the powers of congress. Some of the more important ones include the necessary and proper clause, the commerce clause, power to tax, power to spend, coin money, and ability to borrow money, these powers give congress the ability to make laws, buy and sell goods, control a federal budget and even borrow money from foreign countries. The necessary and proper clause is one of the most powerful in the Constitution. It allows congress to "make all laws which shall be...

The Six Branches
Christina Viola Hickey
American InterContinental University
Abstract
Philosophy is everything of the mind. The goal of philosophy is to address the “big questions” that do not fall into other disciplines: how people should act (ethics), what exists (metaphysics), how individuals know what they know (epistemology), and how people should reason (logic). Originating from Greek, the word means “love of wisdom.”(WiseGeek,2015) Metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, and social philosophy, these six branches give philosophy categories of questions. Let’s take a brief glance of what these branches mean.
The Six Branches
This is the six branches and what relation they have to my life. These are very important in every person’s life. Many do not even know that these branches exist, but knowing what they are makes you consider more… of a not knowing of what you thought you once knew. After exploring this I remembered of times in my life when things were different. I really enjoy philosophy and what I have learned so far, it feels kind of odd questioning things that never really made much sense but you knew not to question before this class exposed the right to ask, how come?
Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the existence of anything in the world. Metaphysics is defined as, “The branch of...
